((OOC: By the way, one of the saddest instrumental songs I have heard: Lament of the Musician (used in D. Gray Man). SO, my post may go emotional.

"The forest, eh?" Niola took a few side steps and observed her surroundings. For someone to live in such a condition for seven years, while keeping track of proper manners...they had to be applauded. It did not seem the slightest bit suspicious that Sanquis was powerful, yet it did bother her how he managed to stay such a polite and well-behaved individual for so long. Scratching her head, Niola simply let it go and turned back to Sanguis. Just as she suspected, his eyes were locked on the window, from which she fell from.
"Well, I find it interesting that you made it thus far without knowing," Niola began, hoping to draw his attention away from her friends.
"All of this started around the time I first got here. The students had went beserk, and we later realized they were being manipulated by small chips implanted in their neck. They sort of look like black lumps, just like the one in the guy you beat up. We tried our best at finding the mastermind, but not only did we not find whoever is behind all of this--"
Niola hesitated, recalling the fact that Sanguis was still just a stranger. She didn't even mention that much to Azzeriah, but then again...Azzeriah had the appearance of someone you could trust. Although she looked capable of handling herself, at least she showed how frightened she was upon noticing the dead bodies. This guy...he didn't show any signs of fear, nor did he seem weak. Sure, Niola could easily fly out of the way if he tried anything suspicious with her, but what about the others? The rest of her companions were still lost somewhere, and there was no telling if the fire in the distance--
"The fire!" Niola exclaimed inside her head, almost forgetting.
"I have to find a way to get there quickly, but I can't leave Sanguis here by himself. Hmm, and he also seems interested in Cyr, who hasn't awaken yet. What should I do?"
((OOC: Nevermind, I ended up listening to Coldplay - Viva La Vida instrumental instead. xD Also, Niola does not know Cyr is awake, and yes, she did evade Sanguis question about Cyr. (: Hmm, it is easier to talk to people online because you are not as afraid of what people might think of you. ))
